  • Recommissioned after dry storage for a few years

Honda was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937 and made their first motorcycle in 1949. Within 10 years they had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world, going on to produce over 400 million bikes as well as many other power products. The 250cc CB72 of the 1960s helped establish the company as a big bike manufacturer and the later CB250 was one of the best-selling bikes in the 1970s, giving many learner motorcyclists their first taste of riding a bike on a typically well-built and reliable Honda.

This CB250 G5 has been recently recommissioned after many years in dry storage and although not necessary on a bike of this age, it succesfully went through an MOT on the 21st July this year. Showing a credible c.18,440 miles on the clock, it is presented in mostly unrestored condition with its distinctive Gold paintwork and the all-important chrome 2-into-2 exhaust system. While thousands were sold to learner riders in the day, very few will have survived in standard and original trim. With its electric start, 12v electrics and disc front brake it is still a bike you can enjoy in modern day road conditions on Vintage runs and rallies. It is offered supplied with the aforementioned long MOT and a current V5C.
